About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire apartment to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Beachcomber Cottage, Waternish

Beachcomber cottage is a traditional fisherman's cottage next door to the Michelin star restaurant "LochBay", run by Michael Smith. It is also a minute's walk from the "Stein Inn" that celebrity chef Paul Rankin took over in 2019.
The accommodation warmly welcomes you with it's coal fire and traditional interior. There are 2 bedrooms, one shower room, and a kitchen/diner too, all that is needed for a very comfortable stay here on Skye.
Benefitting from a private garden to the front, across the road, heading down to the shore, facing west so sunsets here can be spectacular.
Waternish has a dark skies area where, on occasions when the atmospheric conditions are right, you can see the Aurora Borealis.
Come see for yourself!

Great property.
Beachcomber Cottage is a great property in a wonderful location on Skye. It has a good layout and is very well equipped. Externally there is a garden with outdoor furniture and ample parking. There is a quality restaurant and Inn within easy walking distance. We will visit again.

Wonderful cottage in a picturesque peaceful setting on the water with a storybook view
This is a great VRBO! The cottage is set within a row of traditional fishermen’s cottages. The historical old cottages, although outfitted with modern amenities, provide a perfect backdrop for the serene picture perfect setting. The sunsets here are truly breathtaking and just being here makes you exhale all stress. The private gated garden which goes to the waterfront is wonderful too. A wonderful surprise is being next door to a Michelin star restaurant (also residing in one of the fisherman’s cottages). We were lucky to be able to eat here (get reservations in advance..Loch Bay). The food was perfectly prepared and presented in a friendly relaxed atmosphere. Also a couple doors down in another of the fisherman’s cottages is the Stein Inn which has the oldest pub in Skye with a great traditional pub atmosphere and good food/drink. The host, Cat, was great! We had one small issue at check-in but Cat was quick to respond and we were grateful! We loved our stay and wish we could have stayed longer!

Stein stay
Absolutely loved the cottage and location. When the weather turned quite cool, the lounge room heating wasn’t operating at all so we replied to their welcome email with two messages for help. Received no reply. Everything else was wonderful.

A nice place, but...
The property is very well kept, well-appointed dishes and appliances, bathroom is nice, bedrooms are nice. But this note is particularly for Americans traveling in summer: The house has no A/C nor does it have any fans. This is not an issue in other seasons, but if you catch a summer that is warmer than usual (increasingly frequent in Scotland now), then it could be an issue. House owners there have not yet adapted to this fact, so this means almost no place has A/C or fans to assist with air movement. Bring your own portable battery powered fan. Secondly, the village of Stein is very remote by most American standards. Be prepared to navigate single track roads to get there, and bring in food at least for breakfast: there are 2 restaurants in Stein, but no store. Closest stores are in Portree or Dunvegan. It's a beautiful place and we enjoyed our time there; we just needed a fan...

Perfect cottage
We had the best time at this cottage! It is adorable, comfortable, and in the perfect location. It was myself, and my three adult children, and it was the perfect location to call home while exploring Skye.

Friends and I stayed at the Beachcomber for 3 nights of a 2 week trip in Scotland. Honestly, I would have been happy to spend the whole 2 weeks here. The stay was one of the highlights of the trip with the charming location, local history, surprising restaurant choices from historic inn to Michelin Star and gift shop with items by local artists. The cottage was over the top charming as well, with equipped kitchen, lots of info on surrounding area, clean, comfortable, can't say enough good things. I will happily return if possible!

Lovely Fishing Cottage
This cottage was very well set-up, for us- great heat (we were there in Feb.), well-equipped, nice furnishings, and overall very comfy. We enjoyed the coal fire in the living room very much! The location is wonderful, just across the little road from the loch, and also it was very quiet. We would have appreciated a notebook of instructions in addition to or instead of the video set-up, which was NOT so convenient for looking up answers to questions, (and also totally puzzling to us at the beginning), and we never did figure out the tv. Nevertheless, we would happily go back!

Loved, loved, loved, loved it!
We had a fantastic stay at the Beachcomber Cottage. It is a beautiful cottage with modern appliances along with original architecture throughout the cottage itself. The two bedrooms are spacious and beds were comfortable. Water pressure was good and toiletries were provided along with plenty of towels. The location is spectacular with views out over Loch Bay from the private garden.

Couples stay
Best location , we couldn’t be happier. Amazing view and wonderful usable yard. All amenities we could want. We had so much fun here and will likely return. The cottage is close to a pier so we got to watch boats come and go as well as families sail and fish. Rise of tide was fun to watch as well. Local flora and fauna was amazing as were all the sheep about.. we at at both of the local restaurants and enjoyed them , unique and small ,local fish places. Shower was hot and water pressure was wonderful. Great place for morning walks, coffee out front on the bench. Love the the views from the road as we drove in and out. Check out local shops , especially Skyesyns. The tannery is at the top of the hill. So cool!
